This is something that is likely a result of being originally developed for PC, but should really be patched to make playing much easier, especially when one is still learning the ropes. The text boxes that will pop up throughout the game are especially an issue, as even someone with extremely good vision on a big screen HD television can have trouble viewing without looking very closely. The names are an issue also due to another issue, incredibly small text. The latter is an example of how the game doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is for the best in this style game. The third statistic is intelligence, which can be increased in a few ways, including watching LOLcat videos on the internet in prison. The gym offers both weights and treadmills to use, with weights increasing overall strength and the treadmill increasing speed. During the various periods of time of the day in each prison, players can do some side tasks to increase these stats. The game has a rather simplistic RPG system in place through not only the collecting of items and crafting, but also the raising of three different stats.
This is where the puzzles come into play, as each prison will require different methods of strategy to build towards an escape. Some of the items make sense, such as making a comb blade weapon from a comb and razor blade, but some others will require lucky guesses.

Crafting itself is simple, as it is done within the pause menu, but not getting much information at all on just how to do so without much work can grow frustrating in no time.
This mechanic is introduced early in the game, but quickly becomes a game of trial and error. The crafting mentioned above is a central part of The Escapists, with a long list of weapons, tools, outfits, and other items being able to be made in game.
